I am a happy Prius owner for just 4 weeks now (2650 miles, 46.1 mpg). Thanks to all on line, especially john1701a, for much valuable information helping me with my purchase.
I commute 100 miles/day, most of it with my wife who insists on keeping the headlights and foglights on at all times. I say this wastes fuel, she says this practice is proven to improve safety plus weight also uses fuel and if I would only lose a few pounds it would make up for keeping the lights on. Hmm ....
That brings up 2 questions: 1) How much do the lights actually change mpg? and 2) How much weight would I have to lose to make up the difference
